Oribe Octagonal Lidded Box — Tea Ceremony Kogo / Small Treasure Box from Edo period
An octagonal Oribe lidded box—small, sharp, and quietly playful.
A wedge of Oribe green cuts into the pale surface, while iron drawings sit like quick symbols: minimal, witty, and unmistakably handmade. It feels like a private object—something meant to be opened.
Traditionally used as a kogo (incense container) in the tea ceremony, it also works beautifully as a small box for salt, spices, sweets, jewelry, or tiny keepsakes.
• Oribe ware (glazed stoneware)
• Lidded, octagonal form
• One-of-a-kind character: natural variation in glaze, tone, and kiln effects
